## What is Fact & Opinion Skill Builder?

** Happy Frog Apps is a Mom's Choice award winner. Our apps are featured on FunEducationalApps.com, TeachersWithApps.com and more! **

'Fact or Opinion' builds an important comprehension skill in a fun, game-like environment. All kids need to know how to interpret what they read -- it is a fact, or is it someone's opinion? 

This skill is especially important as they reach the age of accessing information from the internet.


***** 5 Stars - I like how this app teaches kids how to look for the clue words that can identify a fact or opinion. No other app I've used has done that. 

***** 5 Stars  - Lots of practice. My son loves the Reward Center. Even I did a few levels so I could earn some coins to play!

'Fact or Opinion' is targeted to children in Grades 2-5. Beginning readers in earlier grades can also benefit from the targeted skill development.

The focus of 'Fact or Opinion' is teaching kids how to identify whether a statement is a fact or opinion. 

This vital skill is built incrementally. Early levels focus on thinking about how to prove and fact/opinion and also how to identify the clue words that are indicative of a fact or opinion. Later levels include timers to ensure fluency.

The app includes more than 300 examples for extensive practice.

Key Benefits:

- Builds comprehension skills step-by-step until mastery.

### 5/5 — Fact or Opinion

*2016-01-07*

Our son never really connects to games but this one made him want to provide answers before the therapist could give her version of fact or opinion.  very nice product.

### 5/5 — Great for ASD Kids

*2015-07-30*

If you work with kids with autism, get this app. The skill is taught in a really supported manner
that scaffolds kids toward success. Best of all it explicitly teaches about false facts, clue words
to look for, etc. A really thorough educational tool - not just a bunch of questions.
